This manual offers reference material and general information about the basic operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of a Dahua Network PTZ Camera. Read, follow, and retain the following safety instructions. Heed all warning on the unit and in the operating instructions before operating the unit.
Ensure a service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized parts may cause fire, electrical shock, or other hazards. Dahua is not liable for any damage or harm caused by unauthorized modifications or repairs.
• Dahua recommends the use of a thunder-proof device in concert with the unit. • Do not touch the CCD or the CMOS optic sensor. Use a blower to clean dust or dirt on the lens surface.
• Video loss is inherent to all digital surveillance and recording devices; therefore Dahua cannot be held liable for any damage that results from missing video information. To minimize the occurrence of lost digital information, Dahua recommends multiple, redundant recording systems, and adoption of backup procedure for all data.
2 Unpacking This equipment should be unpacked and handled with care. If an item appears to have sustained damage during shipping, notify the shipper immediately. Verify that all the parts listed below are included. If an item is missing, contact customer support or your local representative.
Certain cameras include a SDHC card slot for onboard storage that support a 128 GB Micro SD card. Dahua recommends using a SanDisk Extreme Micro SD card (or an equivalent substitute) as these cards have been fully tested without issue and the SanDisk Extreme line is better suited for constant recording.
A readily accessible 2-pole disconnect device with a contact separation of at least 3 mm must be incorporated. Note: Dahua recommends attaching a “drip loop” (flex or hard conduit) during installation to ensure condensation does not form in the mount or the conduit.
4.1 Preparing the Camera Remove the camera, the mount accessories and any hardware packages from the boxes. Remove the camera from the plastic wrapping and place the camera dome-end up in the foam packaging. 4.2 Insert a Micro SD Card Loosen the three screws from the external enclosure.
4.3 Mounting the Camera to a Ceiling Place the mounting template against the ceiling and mark the location of the center hole and the three perimeter mounting holes. Pre-drill the three perimeter holes as marked on the wall for the expansion bolts, using a drill bit that is no wider than the expansion bolt.
